    Very nice, was going to post that the wheels didn't work so well after looking at the lighter coloured car, but it looks very agressive/classy on the darker colour IMO.

    I agree. That is one mod that I'll get done when I get one. Just sold my 355 and am in the market for a 456GT. There are two units in Malaysia right now, both Metallic Black/grey interior and 6 speed. Wife loves them but I thought the wheels are too 'weeny'. Thanks for posting your pics Christian.

    Very good change IMO, I personally feel the standard 456 is a little bit of a "boring" Ferrari, its good looking, dont get me wrong....but it doesnt seem to be as thrilling to the eye as the 360, 355, 430, 575, IMO

    The wheels definetley make it look more aggresive, I would love to see more 456 get those rims put on.

    The rims really update the look of the 456. Very nice!

    I want my first Ferrari to be a 456/612... unless I can score off a CS :D I love the attitude of the 4 seaters, they're so subtle, not nearly as flashy - exactly how I'd want as easy going, usable F-Car. I bet sometimes they would go unnoticed, fly under the radar, if you will.

    612 + CS in the stable.... mmm, perfection.

    Agreed. The only problem is that the 575 19" wheels are not easy to come by. Especially when we have all these 550 owners to compete with! :)

    The original wheel/tires package is just a tad too civilized for me.

    I have recognized that a lot of Ferrari's look better with other model wheel on them.

    The color is Canna di Facile (Metallic Grey)

    I bought the wheels from a F575 owner off ebay who was upgrading his wheels to 19" Fikse Wheels. I paid about $2,000 including shipping and lug bolts. The tires came from Tirerack ~ $1,200 and the Spacers are H&R @ ~ $190 US, including extended lug bolts.

    IMO, better than 575's wheels which looks more futuristic...

    Couldn't agree more, all of the 456s posted look great with the Maranello wheels, especially the 19".
